Area forecast discussion, Sep 20, 12:34 PM CDT, 2 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1234 PM CDT Fri Sep 20 2019 .AVIATION... MVFR to IFR ceilings may be in and out, though the general trend should be to improve through the afternoon. Thunderstorms developing in north Texas are expected to expand in coverage through the afternoon, making their way into southern Oklahoma. Highlighted the most likely periods for storms to impact airports in the TAFs, but scattered storms may impact sites outside of these periods as well. Later tonight additional storms may come out of the panhandles affecting western north Texas and western Oklahoma. Ceilings are expected to deteriorate again late tonight toward Saturday morning. Storm chances continue into Saturday, though not enough confidence to mention at any particular TAF site at this point. Day && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 627 AM CDT Fri Sep 20 2019/ DISCUSSION... The 12Z aviation discussion follows.... AVIATION... A messy cloud/precipitation pattern over Oklahoma and north Texas this morning is a precursor of similarly messy convective activity this afternoon and tonight. With a broad area of lift and moisture, rain and drizzle are common this morning, but with no discernible pattern. So...the forecast is more or less an average of expected conditions. Thunderstorms are expected this afternoon through tonight, with most of the storms in western Oklahoma and adjacent parts of Texas. The main storm area shifts to more of a KCSM- KEND/KGOK-KPNC/KSWO core tonight, with lower chances to the northwest and southeast of that area. Light winds this morning will increase from the south during the day, and (especially in the west) will remain at daytime speeds into the night tonight. CmS PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 320 AM CDT Fri Sep 20 2019/ DISCUSSION... Beginning of an active period starts today as tropical moisture makes its way north into parts of the area and multiple troughs impact the Southern Plains. This morning we are already seeing low level moisture and associated showers/drizzle/fog move across southern/southeastern Oklahoma into central Oklahoma. This will continue today as well as spread farther north. Meanwhile across western sections, models show an embedded wave ejecting northeast out of the larger scale western trough this afternoon and evening. This will result in an increase in showers and thunderstorms in those areas. A few strong storms appear possible across far western Oklahoma late today. Pacific moisture plume remains over the area Saturday, which should keep at least a chance of rain and storms around. However, better rain chances will occur as we go through Saturday night and Sunday as larger trough makes its way east through the Plains and a surface front drops south into the area. Moisture levels remain rather high throughout the weekend, so this activity will be efficient rain producers and heavy rainfall will be a concern. A few strong to severe storms will also be possible. Front will stall across the Red River valley Monday before lifting back north and will be a focus for additional shower/thunderstorms. As we go into next week models show a shortwave trough dropping into southwest and closing off. They continue however, to differ on timing off its eastward progression into the Southern Plains, but with either solution rain chances will continue at least through the middle of next week. No real change in airmass is expected through this forecast period, however more extensive cloud cover and precipitation will keep temperatures cooler and closer to seasonal norms. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
